"As Robert wrote.........." by MrJoop | RedBubble

"As Robert wrote.........." by MrJoop | RedBubble:

The Sun Travels

"The sun is not a-bed, when I
At night upon my pillow lie;
Still round the earth his way he takes,
And morning after morning makes.

While here at home, in shining day,
We round the sunny garden play,
Each little Indian sleepy-head
Is being kissed and put to bed.

And when at eve I rise from tea,
Day dawns beyond the Atlantic Sea;
And all the children in the west
Are getting up and being dressed."

Robert Louis Stevenson
